Devo documentary slated for 2013 release

Director Tony Pemberton's
Are We Not Men? was in development for three years before a
Kickstarter campaign finally attracted the money needed to finish the
production.

The authorized documentary about the origins and rise of Akron band Devo is a feature-length
film that uses "never-before-seen clips, interviews, and testimonials" and includes interviews with
David Bowie, Iggy Pop and fellow Ohioan Dave Grohl.

We
wrote about the film's Kickstarter campaign over the summer, when the fundraiser had surpassed
its original $25,000 goal. Pemberton, however, was still hoping for more funds for post-production
editing and for securing rights and certain archives, among other production costs.

Backers have now pledged more then $70,000 to the cause, and
Are We Not Men? has an estimated release date of spring 2013.
